Building Opencascade from source for I386 for Ubuntu Linux. Continued.

I just did a locate opencascade on my drive and it is ming boggling how many source files are in this package… No wonder why this took over a day to compile….
The end result appears to be 3 file .deb files locate in the sub-directory as the opencascade_6.2.0.orig.tar.gz was downloaded to:
libopencascade6.2-0_6.2.0-7_i386.deb
libopencascade6.2-dev_6.2.0-7_i386.deb
opencascade-tools_6.2.0-7_i386.deb

The instructions that I got on what to do with these things was:

  • Install each .deb as root using “dpkg -i *.deb”
  • Run (as root) “apt-get -f install” to get any missing dependencies

This didn’t seem to work.. Here’s what I got.
jonas@unbuntu2:~$ sudo dpkg -i libopencascade6.2-0_6.2.0-7_i386.deb
[sudo] password for jonas:

I need to look at this later..
Ooops obvious what happen after a good night sleep. I was in the correct folder:

Alrighty…. This is striking me as a bit odd. The compiler takes days to run, but the .debs only take minutes to install?? I think the pieces may have been installed already…
I thought the .deb would install in the same sub-directorys as OCC would, put appears that it didn’t: /home/jonas/OCC_orig_tar/opencascade-6.2.0/ros/adm/make/TKV3d/.libs/libTKV3d.so.0.0.0
I need to make some inquires on this..
